Greedy Self Serving Losers

Falcon,

The biggest entitlement group in America is the congress a group of greedy self serving losers who rob the American taxpayer every year through excessive wages, excessive benefits, excessive holidays, extreme lazyness, excessive retirement and worst of all no accountability or ethics to the people they supposedly represent.

They make and pass laws that affect everyone except themselves.  They have robbed the American people through insider trading for years and all have become wealthy by stealing from the citizens and country they are supposed to represent.  They believe in nepotism when it comes to their own relatives and friends.  Basically these deadbeats are nothing but wards of the American people and need to be thrown out of office and replaced for dereliction of duty by people who want the job for reasons other than greed, power and selfishness which are the current standards set by the congress.

There should be a national vote to determine if congress must work 40 hours per week, get no more than four weeks vacation after ten years on the job, no work no pay and obey the same laws as does the public including DUI, insider trading, speeding tickets, stealing, fraud and all laws same as the public must.  Their benefits should be no more than the private sector gets and their healthcare should be under the same plan as the public is forced to have such as Obamacare.  No special health insurance unless the public gets the same choices as the congress actually the public should have the same laws and benefits as does the congress regardless provided they don’t live under our laws.  There’s nothing special about a congressman that a private citizen couldn’t do.

It’s time the congress get back to basics and that’s representing the people rather than themselves.

Congress has been representing itself for many years now while letting the people drift around with no leadership nor representation in Washington at all by these clowns currently in Washington.

Congress has replaced the used car salesmen and lawyers as the greedest, selfserving, losers placed on this earth.  It’s time for change and we need to get a movement going that puts our servants back into our control.  We have a situation where the tail is wagging the dog.
